2:06 pm
companies doing well but investors are clearly buying a lot of growth here. can tesla achieve that? >> they can. >> when that brand has been made, investors have been willing to attribute value to that.

>> you can't say it wasn't a good quarter. >> perception is reality. >> in the stock market. you are so wrong. because in this case -- >> do you talk to your son like that? >> he doesn't like it when i do. the reality is, brian, is that the numbers tell a very different story than the sfok is telling you right now. >> they don't see any improvement. >> let's take a look at monster as well. >> that's the contrast in the story. >> monster, all you need to do is look at the sales growth. everything else, you look at the numbers and earnings, they popped all sorts of things. the earnings were not what people expected.

the company is hiring. >> nothing has been decided on that, whether or not this needs something changed in labeling. >> i will tell you, talking on this one. he thinks international sales will take a bit of a hit. i have to tell you something. if you look at the growth in european sales, you can say that in the u.s., sales barely budged. >> next up, group on. it's soaring on earnings. have people been wrong about exactly what groupon is? kind of like my question on amazon. is it possible that we don't understand what the company is?
2:11 pm

2:15 pm
services giant? we think of tvs. >> if you actually took financial services and valued it at market, pictures valued at market you probably have 3,000 general stocks. it's hard to get a fundamental grip on the company. as i said, they could probably do almost $400 billion in operating profit. just going back to pre-crisis levels.

biggest bank heist in the history of the world may have just taken place. but there's more to this story than meets the high. the senior correspondent, scott cohn is here, and he's been digging in. >> and he's looking confused, but he didn't see the prior segment. >> i'm confused because you're telling me i'm refined. if you hear "bank heist" and think of a masked gunman handing a note to a teller, you are so 20th century. this was a global cyberheist, targeting banks and third party credit card processors worldwide. and to get the money, all the

crooks had to do was walk up to the nearest atm. >> the eight defendants charged today are alleged to have fanned out across manhattan and other parts of this city to steal millions of dollars from hundreds of atms in a matter of mere hours. they were the nucleus of this worldwide cybercrime network. >> eight people have been indicted, seven are in custody. the eighth, authorities believe, was murdered last month in the dominican republic. how did they pull it off? authorities say they would hack into banks and third party credit card processors targeting those debit card accounts. they would raise the balances, eliminate the daily limit, and send out p.i.n. codes, withdrawing almost unlimited money while the hackers are still in the system, still in the computers. these are the atms they hit in
2:52 pm
manhattan, $2.8 million just in new york, $45 million around the world in less than half a day. no gun, no mask. just computers, a lot of coordination, and a lot of mo e moxie. >> it's kind of scary when you feel that that could just be the tip of the iceberg, right? and there's potentially other organizations out there, potentially not on this scale, that could do similar things. >> the fact that they got into the systems of these big banks around the world. yes, they were able to target the prepaid debit card accounts, but authorities are now wondering what else were they able to get, what else can they get, and what else can similar kinds of criminals get. >> incredible story, scott cohn. call it proof the system works or it's flat broken, but texas paid by the nation's top earners are putting gunman back in the black. robert frank joins us with a feel-good story on uncle sam. >> and you heard it here first on this show last month. i predicted what i called the april surprise, a flood of tax dollars from the wealthy. and guess what, it happened.
2:53 pm
a congressional budget office saying the government received $795 billion in income tax revenue through april. that was $132 billion better than expected. much of that, they said, was from high earners, shifting income into 2012 to avoid those tax hikes in 2013. the cbo said the shift was, quote, substantially greater than it expected. that's also true for states. california collected $4.5 billion more in income taxes than it projected. the good news is that all those tax dollars, they're shrinking the deficits. the federal budget deficit, expected to be more than $800 billion, but now it could fall below $700 billion. the bad news is that all this income that the rich moved into 2012 may not be repeated in 2013. you could read more on cnbc.com. >> all i'm going to say is thank goodness for all those millionaires and billionaires the, right? >> that's right. they're helping the deficit. >> well, everybody sold, like you said, all the dividends got hiked. that's probably while apple partly is down. >> the question with all these
2:54 pm
